Your response: My community right at the Bulloch County Line is one that is very diverse. Residents occupy both homes and apartments. Many of the families here have school-age children. And we are located in close proximity to Bulloch Academy. It is easy to say that every person cares about the welfare of the other. And that has been greatly demonstrated throughout this pandemic.

Your response: I feel that the local economy is greatly suffering due to the pandemic., which is leaving many businesses short-staffed. Although surprising to hear, there are some others refusing to give employees time off when they are notified that they've tested positive for COVID. That in turn is causing people to quit those jobs as they seek proper healthcare. Presently, people are afraid and that is rightfully so.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: Presently, there is a need for more leadership involvement in the fight against the spread of COVID. People need both information and free masks. Besides that, we need better roads in the County areas, and the availability of home improvement loans. It is my hope that the Redistricting process will not unfairly divide my community so as to make it ineffective towards choosing its representatives.
